Abstract
This work presented the design and fabrication of blood vessel and breast tumor detection device (BKA-06) based on optical energy spectroscopy. The BKA-06 device uses red-to-near-infrared light-emitting diodes that allow physicians or physicians to visualize blood vessels and surface structures such as breast tumors with the naked eye. The device consisted of built-in current control circuit to have the appropriate brightness (maximum illuminance of 98592 lux) for the examination of superficial tumors deep under the skin, with a scan time of 3-5 minutes. The device BKA-06 could facilely observe each layer of blood vessels at the depth of the skin. For breast tumors, the location, size and invasive areas around the tumor can also be visualized with the naked eye using the BKA-06 sensor. The results show that the BKA-06 sensor can provide clear breast tumor and vascular images with a penetration of up to 15 cm in the skin and tissue layers of the breast. The breast tumor scanning tests with the BKA-06 sensor gave patients quick results and compared them through cell biopsy and MRI respectively. The device has the advantage of being simple, easy to use, providing potential practical applications in the medical field, reducing costs for patients when taking MRI or CT scans. Therefore, the BKA-06 device is expected to help doctors and medical staff overcome difficulties in infusion as well as identify breast tumors to support early breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
